Meaning of Bastet in the Egyptian Tarot

Card no. 6

It is one of the 7 positive cards of the Egyptian tarot. It is therefore very beneficial when it comes out during a divinatory reading. It thus represents Bastet, a goddess of Egyptian mythology who was the protector of women about to give birth and above all of children. Under the guise of a black-coloured cat, Bastet symbolises all sorts of warmth, whether it comes from the rays of the sun or from the harmony that flows from a happy family.

It is therefore one of the most benevolent cards, one that speaks to us of great joys shared and of friendly celebrations as well as family ones. During a reading, the Bastet card can also embody an elderly person in our circle.

❤️ The Bastet Card in Love ❤️

You are in a relationship

The Bastet card is above all renowned for speaking to us warmly of moments spent as a family, or else of shared celebrations among friends, but it is also very positive when it tells us about a couple.

In any case, it assures us that the emotional bonds shared by the 2 people concerned by this union are truly solid and that there is really no cause for worry about their future. Thus, their love is of a sunny blue, which no cloud comes to disturb.

You are single

The Bastet card does not particularly announce new encounters to come in our destiny; rather, it confirms that we are at ease among our companions, friends and members of the family.

This in no way prevents a love relationship from forming with someone we have already known for a while and with whom the chemistry is wonderful. What will matter then is to follow one’s instinct and to trust our aura, which should not be mistaken about the nature of the future commitment.

🧠 The Bastet Card in Work 🧠

It is one of the most beneficial cards as soon as one broaches subjects touching on the world of work. Thus, very optimistic, it reveals to us relevant and insightful professional meetings that can only lead to gracious horizons.

The Bastet card also reveals to us an important teamwork, where everyone matters in order to steer a project as well as possible, in trust and good humour. As with romantic bonds, it tends to consolidate existing ties between different partners, which is a plus when one envisages success.

🧘 Spiritual Interpretation of the Bastet Card 🧘

It is a blue card, the colour that most refers to fertility. The divine black cat depicted on it wears earrings and a heavy necklace, jewels meant to symbolise the dominating spirit over our most primal instincts, as well as the firmament of our intellect and consciousness.

Moreover, the musical instrument called the sistrum that she holds in her hand claims to be a veritable protective shield against negative spirits and the dark world of shadows. Bastet is more than venerated in Egypt, so we are far indeed from our Western superstitions about black cats.
